Now interviewing for Associate positions in my private practice.
Are you seeking supervision while you complete hours for MFT, PCC, or Social Work licensure? I encourage you to reach out so we can get to know each other and see if I am the right fit for your training goals.
I have been practicing as a Marriage and Family therapist since 2004 and have supervised new clinicians for over 12 years. I take pride in helping new therapists develop as professionals both in and out of the therapy room. You’ll learn clinical best practices, develop marketing skills, and start building your own practice on the way to licensure. You’ll also receive support as you examine and overcome any personal blocks that might arise in your work. My style is encouraging and supportive, and I’ve received advanced training in Hakomi Body Psychotherapy and Huma Transpersonal Bodywork that I can share with supervisees who are interested in these methods.
To learn more about my associate positions, reach out at my contact page. I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome! I’m so glad you are exploring options for support. It can feel intimidating reaching out for the first time, or finding a new therapist and I’d like to make it as comfortable as possible. Are you struggling with a transition, experiencing the loss of a loved one or a relationship, or perhaps have lost touch with your own sense of joy and vibrancy? During this time of Covid-19 crisis, our most vulnerable selves are exposed. Individuals with trauma histories may be feeling especially challenged. Couples might be struggling with increased mood swings, irritability, isolation, or lack of privacy. I am here to help you manage these feelings, come together, and find common ground.
I offer a safe space where you'll feel heard, respected, and validated. Collaboratively, we will unpack the challenges you're facing and create insight around patterns that no longer serve you. Therapy can help to bring you to a new place of understanding, perspective, inspiration and purpose. My intention is to provide you with the tools to live a life that expresses your deepest values. In the face of distress, living from your values will enable you to lead a meaningful life and to be the person you want to be. I especially enjoy working with teens, adults, couples and groups and because no single approach is right for everyone, I have trained in and use a balanced blend of client-centered and empirically-based approaches to help you reach your goals. More specifically, my work is informed by the following therapeutic orientations: Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My education consists of having received a B.A. in Foreign Languages and Linguistics from Romania, a B.S. in Marketing and International Business from San Francisco State University and of having attended Santa Clara University where I completed my M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I have been providing mental health support in the Bay Area in English, Romanian and Spanish for the past decade in different settings and capacities. I have worked and volunteered in non-profit agencies, clinics, hospitals, hospice, and domestic violence shelters. For the past four and a half years, I have been volunteering on the National Suicide Line and for the past two years I have been a part of Bay Area CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management team through the Centre for Living with Dying), providing debriefings and demobilizations after disasters such as mass shootings, fires, and earthquakes.
I know how hard it is to ask for help, so the fact that you are looking is brave. You deserve a life that is filled with joy and happiness, fulfilling work and relationships. I'd like to help. I have immediate openings for teletherapy and I offer weekend sessions to fit with your busy life. Why not start today?
I offer a complimentary consultation where we discuss your concerns and you can see if I am a right fit for you and your journey. I look forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at: madalina@yoursafespacetherapy.com, or (408) 673-0876.

Hola, I am happy that you're stopping by please take some time and read a note I wrote for you. Are you struggling to keep up with daily living? Continuing to have patterns emerge and wonder why they continue to show up in life? Are you exploring family cycles? Curious about breaking cycles that may be tied to generational trauma? What does it look like for you to have a healthy positive relationship with your child? I can provide and facilitate a safe space to explore, wonder and navigate these issues together. We will work in a collaborative process where you are the expert in your life. Aligning your needs with my approach and treatment to achieve your goals. Walking alongside side you to continue through your healing journey
I specialize on working with clients that have experienced complex traumas during childhood and as an adult. We will explore together what brought you to therapy with a lens of attachment. Supporting navigating life through a narrative that highlights your strengths and resilience. Acknowledging your humanity and unique life experience. I value human connection and feel honor to be able to walk into the healing journey alongside my clients. Healing is not linear and there isn't a magical formula to follow. It's rather a self-pace path that may be filled with barriers, challenges and turbulence, but during all that I hope you may find space to slow down. Open yourself to wonder about your purpose in this world. I hope that life brings opportunities for inner healing and self-reflection. That you find warmth and affection throughout your journey. To find strength and courage to reach out when needed and vulnerability to know when it's your time to heal. That you connect to this world and its people in a meaningful way that makes you whole.
I identify as a BIPOC/Indigenous woman. I will continue to support BIPOC communities and individuals. Inviting tough conversations and acknowledgement of privilege for more access to to Mental Health. My commitment to you is to value and honor your journey. Co-create room for you to step into your authentic desired life.
